Chapter 723 Fumeng Lingcha’s Warning! (1)

Chapter 723 Fumeng Lingcha’s warning (1) [first]

"Young master, is that Hulu Yege really trustworthy?"

Walking on the road, barbarians jostled each other and passed by, the lone wolf suddenly asked. Wandering outside for more than a year, although Wang Chong has been granted the title of Marquis, Lone Wolf still maintains the original title of "Young Master".

"It has nothing to do with trust, as long as there is profit. Moreover, he can't help but not believe in this matter."

Wang Chong smiled, but he remembered the strange expression on Hulu Yege's face when he finally left.

Yao Luoge, Huluyege's closest and most trusted housekeeper, is in charge of more than 70% of his property, and is absolutely "loyal" in Huluyege's heart.

It's a pity that even Hulu Yege didn't expect that in three or four days at most, this loyal subordinate in his eyes would take his concubine and abscond with money.

Khulu Yege later made a series of big mistakes, knowing that he was beheaded by the Great Khan Shaboluo of the Western Turks, probably had something to do with it.

"In addition, son..., one hundred thousand war horses, this is not a small amount, can we really get it with our ability?"

The lone wolf looked worried.

According to the price given by Wang Chong, one hundred taels of gold would be worth 100,000 taels of gold. Wang Chong even borrowed money for the construction of the Steel City from thousands of families in the capital. If he wanted to buy 100,000 high-quality war horses, it would be absolutely impossible for the Wang family to do so.

"Hahaha, I saw that after you came out of the Huluyege mansion, you frowned, didn't say much, and looked worried. So you were worried about this. One hundred thousand war horses, with the ability of our royal family Of course it can't be done, besides, why does our royal family need so many war horses?"

Wang Chong smiled, with a look of indifference. How much gold is needed to buy a horse, he never thinks about it, and he doesn't care at all.

"That young master bought so many war horses..."

Lone Wolf tilted his head, puzzled.

He always thought that Wang Chong disguised himself and secretly sneaked into the Western Regions to buy so many war horses for himself, but now it sounds like this is not the case at all, and he suddenly couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Even after following Wang Chong for so long, he felt that he still couldn't keep up with Wang Chong's train of thought.

"Ha ha,

Of course it is for Datang. "

Wang Chong said without hesitation.

Of the 100,000 war horses, he will keep 10,000 at most, and will intercept 30,000 to 40,000 horses in the future, and all the others will be given to the court.

Feeding these war horses requires not a small amount, and only the imperial court can do it calmly. In addition, as for the gold and silver needed to buy horses...

Regardless of whether it is ten million taels or tens of millions taels, for the current Datang, it is just a drizzle, so what is it?

Although the Tang Dynasty has declined militarily, people feel at ease, and they no longer have the heroism and aggressiveness of the past, but the country has been prosperous and the people have been peaceful for so many years, and it has also traded with other countries, and it has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth.

It is not used at this time, when will it be left?

Wang Chong left the Western Regions quickly, just like when he came, without disturbing anyone. At the same time as he left, a golden-clawed carrier pigeon soared into the sky, leaving the Western Regions at a speed several times faster than ordinary carrier pigeons, and flew to the capital of Datang.

A few days later, the carrier pigeon fell from the sky, passed through layers of windows, and landed in King Song's study.

"This is... Wang Chong's letter?"

King Song took out the letterhead and looked at it immediately. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he couldn't help laughing excitedly.

"Hahaha, one hundred thousand excellent war horses! Wang Chong, you have made great contributions to the court! No matter how many taels of gold you need, I will go to the court and do my best to solve it for you. Who would dare to be selfish and go against the current when it comes to such a major event that benefits the country and the people, and contributes to the country and the world?!"

Speaking of the last sentence, King Song's face suddenly became extremely cold. There are priorities, and ordinary things are fine, but when it comes to the war horses that the court urgently needs, whoever dares to make trouble in this kind of big right and wrong, maybe he will kill several people. A censor, a doctor.

Without the slightest delay, the King of Song took Wang Chong's letterhead and hurriedly left the Song Palace.

...

Wang Chong quickly returned to the City of Steel. It took more than ten days before and after, and the current Steel City is quite different from before:

The huge city wall of forty meters stands on the ground, smooth and steep enough to make any siege equipment such as ladders sigh.

After the construction of the outer city wall was completed, nearly 150,000 craftsmen were already building the inner city wall, as well as various restaurants, teahouses, and inns in the city of steel.

Various aristocratic families have also begun to send people to build their own restaurants and shops, and the whole city is full of construction, showing signs of being in full swing.

At this point, Wang Chong's fiefdom has begun to get on the right track, and nothing can stop it.

"Master Hou, all the steel and city wall modules in the early stage have been used up, and the construction speed in the future may not be so fast. It is necessary to build subsequent city wall modules in sword towers and sword shops in various states and counties, and then send them to Wushang. I'm afraid this will not be delivered in a short time."

Standing on the high city wall, facing the strong wind, Zhang Shouzhi said:

"In addition, in addition to pure defense, the city also needs to set up some mezzanine walls, and some arrow stacks for soldiers to avoid enemy attacks. I am afraid that this speed will not be faster, and it cannot be compared with the previous stage. "

"It doesn't matter. At this point in the construction of the city of steel, we already have a foothold. This is my original purpose. Now we have all achieved it!"

Wang Chong's long hair fluttered, and his clothes fluttered.

Things are urgent and slow, modular construction of the city seems to be extremely fast, Wang Chong's "Steel City" is like a miracle to many people. But many people have overlooked how much manpower, material resources, and time it will take to prepare these steel city modules in the early stage.

If it weren't for the resources and financial resources of the various families in the capital, as well as the mobilization of the casting capabilities of the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent, the shock of "building the city overnight" would have been impossible. This is a huge and unimaginable project. For many forces and many people, it is simply an extravagant hope!

But despite all the shocking features, the modular construction of the city hides a huge flaw behind the shocking speed:

That is, all its shocking effects are based on the full preparation in the early stage. Once the modules are consumed, you have to wait for the later construction, and the speed will be much slower. This is also the current situation facing the Steel City.

The crazy construction during this period has already consumed all the surrounding city wall modules piled up like mountains and seas, and the subsequent construction speed will naturally be slow.

However, for Wang Chong, his goal has been achieved.

"Boom!"

While talking with Zhang Shouzhi, suddenly, the earth shook, and a roar like a sea tide suddenly came from the north. Wang Chong's heart was shocked, and when he turned his head to look, he saw thick smoke billowing on the horizon, rushing up to the sky, and countless black spots in the thick smoke were galloping towards them, with an extremely terrifying momentum.

"Enemy attack!"

A sharp howl tore through the sky, and around the city of steel, the thousands of elite cavalry brought by Wang Chong from the southwest, as well as the city guards brought by the major families, immediately responded. In just a split second, all the guards not far away gathered in all directions, and within a short period of time, formed a battle formation, ready to charge and attack the opponent at any time.

"Buzz!"

Not far away, steel roared, and two huge steel gates opened. As they could welcome their own knights into the city, they could also keep the enemy out of the city at any time, relying on the thick and solid city defense.

Gua, there was a whimpering sound coming from Wang Chong's ear, and a master archer brought by a famous family rushed to the top of the city, set his bow and arrow, and aimed at the north.

It was only a few breaths of time before and after, and the city of steel, which was still busy just now, became fully armed and heavily guarded, like a steel stabbing.

"Buzz!"

The "enemy army" on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and the smoke and dust were getting thicker and thicker. Seeing that there was going to be a fierce battle, Wang Chong's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he sneered.

"Stop! Pass down the order, the whole army is on standby, and maintain a defensive posture. Archers, draw back the bowstring! No one can act rashly without my order!"

Wang Chong straightly raised an arm, and suddenly issued an order.

It happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

"Mr. Zhang, you wait here. I will leave for a while, and I will deal with this matter!"

Wang Chong stood on the city wall, looked into the distance, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and sneered:

"It looks like we have a good friend here!"

After saying this, Wang Chong turned around and quickly left the city wall along the steps. Behind him, Zhang Shouzhi still looked astonished, not understanding what happened.

But facing the scorching sun, his eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, Zhang Shouzhi's expression shook slightly, and he suddenly understood something.

"It turned out to be him!!"

Zhang Shouzhi's expression was slightly shaken, and he blurted out, looking at a hunting and dancing battle flag that suddenly protruded from the billowing smoke, his eyes showed deep worry.

"Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, you stay guard in the city, don't come over!"

"Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, come with me!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

...

The war horse crowed, and hurried away from the city with a stream of smoke and dust.

Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan, these two people were the elite who followed Wang Chong in the southwest, and they were one of the thousands of masters that Wang Chong recruited from the various aristocratic families back then.

These two people are very strong, they are the best among other aristocratic masters, and they are extremely loyal.

The aristocratic family they originally worked for, in order to please Wang Chong, and at the same time close the relationship with the Wang family, so that they could board the huge chariot of the Wang family and King Song, simply gave these two people to Wang Chong as his close servants .

But what Wang Chong valued them was not only their martial arts, but also their courage, on-the-spot response, and decision-making ability. In the Battle of the Southwest, when Li Siye led them back, the Uzbek Tibetans tried to counterattack, trying to attack from an oblique moment, cutting off Li Siye's attacking formation.

As a result, the two men sensed the danger in advance, led a small team, and before the Uzang iron cavalry had gathered into a formation, they left the team and took the initiative to charge.

The team of more than a dozen people was unstoppable, and directly dispersed the seven or eight hundred Uzang cavalry, disintegrating their offensive.
